I've gotten to the point where I can record (the trick with using hexdump on http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=AlsaTips was particularly helpful), but things get all screwy when I throw dsnoop into the mix. % arecord -D hw:0 -d 10 -f cd -t wav file.wav Works fine, and I get a spiffy recording out. % arecord -D plug:dsnoop -d 10 -f cd -t wav file.wav Gives me garbage. It sounds like a little snip (like, .1 seconds worth) of what's coming in, repeated over and over again for 10 seconds. My OSS expreiment with dsnoop gave the same results (which makes me think the OSS emulation part is right). My .asoundrc looks like this... pcm.dsp0 { type plug slave.pcm "dsnoop" } # mixer0 ctl.mixer0 { type hw card 0 } ...any suggestions? Thanks for all the help so far. -- Jason M.
